Use this stuff along with graphene and we can get an invisible computer that is so smart it answers questions before being asked and produces enough excess power to power an entire house and run our driverless cars.

Does that mean there will be no need to open CR4 from then on? How sad.

Oh no, not at all. The shear power of such a system will treat those asking the typical CR4 question as spammers and ban them from using that power even before the question is asked.

Thus, they will flock here in here-to-fore unseen numbers, requiring the mods to hire you and I as sort of demi-gods to control the ensuing flood of the unknowing.

Before the dread Editor Crankshaft has a chance, "hire you and I" should be "hire you and me".

"shear power" should be "sheer power" I believe. - dread Editor

Clearly these particles are interesting. I do not think they will be useful or practical for a long time.

However, if you approve and fund this research grant I'll be happy to explore.
